For financial advisors, mortgage agents and insurance agents
A client gives a friend your name. Before that friend calls, they look you up. What they find decides whether they call you or the next name on the list.
I'm Arthur. I was a financial advisor and a mortgage agent, and I sold life insurance under my own licence. My team gets you found on Google, Google Maps and ChatGPT, writes the articles that show you know your stuff, and builds a website that gets people to book. Nothing goes out until you, or your compliance person, say yes.
Before our call I'll look you up the way a new client would, and show you what they see.

What we do
People also need a reason to trust you, and an easy way to book once they've made up their mind. That's the part most agencies skip.
When someone searches "financial advisor near me", you should be one of the first names they see. We set up and look after your Google profile, fix what's wrong with your website, and make sure your phone number and address are right everywhere.
People now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and the AI answer at the top of Google who to call. Every week we ask them the questions your clients ask, see who they name, and correct the outdated facts they're reading about you.
We write about the questions your clients actually ask, under your name, and get it through compliance. That's how Google, and the people reading, figure out you know what you're talking about.
Google and the AI tools pay attention to who else is talking about you. We get you mentioned on sites they already trust, like local news and industry websites.
We ask your clients for reviews the way your rules allow, and answer every one without saying who's a client.
Most advisor websites are a brochure. Yours should tell people what to do next and let them book a time with you without hunting for it. We build that, set it up so Google and the AI tools can read it, and track where every inquiry came from.
Google and Facebook have extra rules for financial ads. We run yours inside them, and show you what each inquiry cost.
A monthly email and regular posts, so the people who already know you think of you when a friend asks.
Every Friday you get a short note from us: what we did, what came in, and what's next. No dashboard to log into.
Who we work with
Your compliance team has to sign off on everything, and most agencies don't plan for that. We do. Testimonials only go up where your firm allows them. Running a seminar or a webinar? We'll help fill the seats.
People shop around for a mortgage, and they check you out before they call. We make sure what they find makes them pick up the phone, with your licence and brokerage details wherever the rules need them. We also make the co-branded material you hand to the realtors who send you buyers.
Marketing for mortgage agents →Nobody wakes up wanting to buy life insurance. When they're finally ready, they search. We make sure you're there, with a page for each kind of policy you sell.

Pick one that plans for your compliance review and puts your name on every article. Most agencies don't plan for sign-off, so posts stall or get rewritten. RankedFirst.ai works with financial advisors on Google and Google Maps, AI answers, articles under your name, and a website that gets people to book. Its founder was an advisor, and you see everything before it goes live.
RankedFirst.ai does, and its founder sold life insurance under his own licence. Nobody wakes up wanting to buy life insurance. When they're finally ready, they search. We make sure you're there, with a page for each kind of policy you sell, your Google profile looked after, and articles under your name. Licensed in more than one area? We cover all of them.
RankedFirst.ai writes articles under your name about the questions your clients actually ask, and sends each one to you, or your compliance team, before it's published. Nothing goes live without that yes. A name on the article matters too: Google doesn't trust anonymous advice about money, and neither do your clients.
ChatGPT names advisors it can find and trust. That takes a website that says who you help and where, a complete Google profile, articles under your name, and mentions on sites it already reads. RankedFirst.ai checks every week what ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI say when someone asks for an advisor in your town, and corrects the outdated facts they're reading about you.
Ask any agency how it handles CIRO's rules for advertising and sales communications, and your dealer's compliance review, before you hire it. At RankedFirst.ai, every article and post goes to you or your compliance team first, testimonials only go up where your firm allows them, and ads stay inside Google's and Meta's rules for financial services. Your compliance team always has the final say.
